When my divorce involved the valuation of a family-owned business and significant commercial real estate holdings, the situation felt overwhelming. Mike Boulette at Taft was the steady, expert hand we needed. His background in closely-held businesses and family law was immediately evident. He navigated the high-stakes financial complexities with precision, uncovering assets that were not initially transparent. What sets Mike apart is his ability to combine his formidable litigation skills, honed over seven years, with a genuine understanding of the personal toll these cases take. He was always prepared, his arguments were sharp, and his guidance through both trial and settlement discussions was invaluable. The recognition he has received in family law and appellate practice is well-deserved. We achieved a fair and comprehensive outcome that protected my future. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
